Better Than Nothing

Ignore me, please, be my guest
You never pursued me,
That was my quest
You're allowed to fight me
Allowed to drive me out
You'll hate me, at best

Even that would be better than nothing
Even to be hated by you
Then at least I'd know you felt something
That there was some kind of place for me
Even if you hated me

Fuck me up, please, darling, do
You never hunted me,
I hunted you
You're allowed to kick me
From your bed and out
And I'll be hating you

Even that would be better than nothing
Even to be hated by you
Then at least I'd know you felt something
That there was some kind of place for me
Even if you hated me


I didn't know I could still feel
That things could appear solid, and real
And I thought you were just temporary
A one time thing, with you and me
What happened to it all, to my head
After just one time
With you,
In your bed


Even that would be better than nothing
Even to be hated by you
Then at least I'd know you felt something
That there was some kind of place for me
Even if you hated me

Even if you hated me
darling

  2. This seems a little too cliche for you. The rhyme scheme just seems forced, 'be my guest/you never pursued me/that was my quest.' It's not on the level of awesome that a lot of your other works are.

    It feels rushed.

  3. Haha, well. I just wrote it off my heart so that's how it came out. You may find the rhyming forced but I never even intended for it to rhyme. That was just sort of a bonus. Alright critique taken though :)
